What this shelf covers

The tasks that come after picking a network

A review tells you which network to pick. A guide picks up after that decision, with the tasks a seller actually has to finish before and after launch.

Who legally sells your product

Most networks act as the merchant of record. The merchant of record definition on the ranking names who charges the buyer, who files the tax, and which checkout leaves that tax with the vendor. The guide to who handles tax, refunds and chargebacks sets ClickBank and Digistore24 beside JVZoo and WarriorPlus when you connect your own processor.

Getting the product approved

Each marketplace reviews your sales page, price points and claims before it lists you, and some accept new sellers only by referral. The product approval guide puts each network's review window, pages and refund rule in one place. The approval checklist then shows which of those gaps are still open for the network you are about to submit to.

Affiliates and the JV page

The rate you type in pays a different vendor share on each network. The commission guide runs a 50% rate through ClickBank, JVZoo and CopeCart. The JV page guide is the page affiliates open next. Once that page exists, the JVZoo launch checklist on the ranking orders the launch date, the listing, the contest and when the vendor is paid. Selling your own product on ClickBank, from the account through the listing, is the ClickBank vendor sequence on that same page. How to get affiliates to promote your product is the recruiting work once the network is chosen. When that product is also listed on a second network, the two-network guide says which pieces you copy and which account, order form and refund path stay separate. A one-week checkout price is the Black Friday price guide: a ClickBank coupon, a JVZoo dime sale, and the note affiliates need before the emails go out.

Refunds and chargeback limits

The rates that put an account under review, how a refund flows back through the affiliate's commission, and what order bumps and one-click upsells do to the affiliate's credit and to the fee on each charge. The chargeback rate guide lists each network's published ceiling and the statement name to put in front of the buyer.

Still choosing a network?

Guides assume you already sell somewhere. If you haven't settled that yet, start with the ranking, then compare the two networks you are torn between in a head-to-head. Every fee and payout rule on this site comes from the networks' own seller pages, as our research method explains.
